Brazilian judge Victor Torres issued an injunction to ban Adele's 'Million Years Ago' from all streaming services, claiming it plagiarizes Martinho Da Vila's samba classic 'Mulheres.'
Geraes' attorney emphasized that the ruling serves as a warning to international artists considering borrowing from Brazilian music, indicating that 'they will think twice' about it.
Although Adele faced accusations of plagiarism in the past for 'Million Years Ago' involving Kurdish singer Ahmet Kaya's work, those claims did not escalate into legal action.
The injunction poses a serious risk to the Brazilian subsidiaries of Adele's labels, with potential fines of $8,000 for each instance of non-compliance.
